the prettyway // a PRETTYMUCH fanfic

~33~

el:
first period.

"good morning class! please hand in your syllabuses," mr. jackson orders.

nathan turns around, " hey cute stuff. did you get yours signed?"

"yea..."

"well of course you did," what the hell is that supposed to mean?

i turn around to get my syllabus out from my backpack. i can feel his eyes staring at my back, waiting for me to turn around.

"you're going to be hanging out with the boys and i during lunch, okay? also, it's gonna be you and i in all the classes we have together."

"um, excuse me?"

"no one has approached you yet besides me. am i correct?"

"yea..."

"so i don't want you to be a loner, just stick with me."

"okay but what if people approach me."

"you're still gonna be with me," he winks.

"dude. did you forget? i have a boyfriend."

"okay and? that doesn't mean we can't hang out." YES I KNOW, but the way you're acting is so incredibly disrespectful.

i don't respond to him.

"alright class, today i want you guys to get to know each other. so today, we're going to stand in a circle, say our names, and each person gets to ask a question," mr. jackson explains. what is this, first grade? he continued, "since she is new here, let's start off with you el." oh great!

"my name is elizabeth honoret, better known as el."

people asked me pretty basic questions such as my favorite color, favorite food, etcetera. this one dumbass that wasn't paying attention yesterday and asked where i was from. other than that, it was basic. until this one girl spoke, i didn't see her yesterday she must have transferred to this class or something, a lot of people are. to be honest, i should, to stay away from nathan.

"are you related to edwin honoret, you know from PRETTYMUCH? you look kind of like him and you said you're from new york AND your first name starts with the letter e." holy shit, this is a FAN.

"no... i have a brother, but his name is edward, and PRETTYMUCH?"

"oh, my mistake."

"that's fine." aww, i feel bad for lying she seems like a genuine fan too. she also looks to be a kind-hearted person, someone that wouldn't snake you out *cough* lena.

we kept going around the circle. i too was asking very simple questions. however, i'm really curious about this girl. it is finally her turn to talk, and her name is ashley.

"since when were you a fan of this band called, PRETTYMUCH?" i ask.

"i'm actually one of their earlier fans. they released music their first song in july, and i found out about them in august. so, i've been a fan PRETTYMUCH, pretty much since the beginning." hahaha i see what she did there.

after everyone had their turn sharing information, once again the rest of the period is free time. i DO NOT want to talk to nathan right now so i go to ashley.

"hey," i say.

"hi, would you like to see what edwin looks like?"

"sure."

she pulls up my brother's instagram and shows me him.

"you look like him, and even have the same last name. that's pretty cool and you're both from new york. wait which part are you from?" well i obviously can't say the bronx. "i'm actually from the city."

"woah cool, what made you move to los angeles?"

"my brother... he said he wanted to 'spend more quality time with me' but i did miss him, he moved here because he went to ucla, then graduted and now he lives in an apartment."

"oh, so where do you prefer living at, nyc or la?"

"i miss home, my parents are back there and some friends but i really like being with my brother."

"why does nathan keep looking at you?" she asks.

"excuse me?"

"oh crap, did that offend you? i'm so sorry, you're actually really pretty."

"haha no that didn't offend me and thank you."

"but seriously, he's been staring at this direction for the longest time."

"do you know him?"

"everyone does... he's the hottest, and most fuckboyey out of the fuckboys, well at least for the junior class he is."

"well he approached me on the first day and was flirting with me. in fact, i have four out of six periods with him, and i hung out with him and his friends yesterday and he's making me hang out with him today. i even told him i have a boyfriend, but it isn't stopping him from calling me 'cute' in different variations."

"yikes, be very careful with him, VERY careful. we should hang out during lunch together actually."

"just to clarify you're a sophomore right? i am by the way."

"yea, i am."

"why weren't you here yesterday?"

"i switched out my schedulde because i refused to have pe sixth period."

"i would do the same thing. can i see your schedule?" she pulls out her schedule and thank god we have english and chemistry together.

"YES! we have three classes together. you seem really cool, what are your social media names." we add each other on snapchat and followed each other on instagram.

"i don't trust social media for talking to people, so here's my phone number," she says. we add each others contact information on each other's phones.

"do you have any friends here that i could maybe get to know? so far i only know you, nathan, and his little group."

"i have friends here, but they aren't my close friends, like i don't hang out with them. i have a best friend that used to come here but she moves to florida."

"oh."

"but i'll surely introduce you to people i know."

"thank you so much!"

"no problem, but can i PLEASE educate you on PRETTYMUCH?!"

"yea sure they sound lit as fuck." maybe because they are lit as fuck. i wanna tell her i feel like she could keep a secret, BUT this is only one day of getting to know her, i have to waut a minimum of a month.

"they're lit trust me! wait, lol i know i'm bringing this up late, but can i see what your boyfriend looks like?" you're kidding right? well i obviously can't pull up a picture of zion. i have a picture of reid? no, no i can't do that.

"i'm such a bad girlfriend, i don't have a picture of him. we aren't those types of people that are really public about our relationship." that actually isn't a lie though, we don't post about each other... we can't even if we wanted to.

"that's actually really nice to hear. these days couples are just posting each other kissing at shit, like save that for yourselves."

"oh my gosh, YES!"
